Born Anna Lou Welty in 1943, Judi Buenoano had many names and many lovers over her 54 years. Men in Judi’s life had a way of suffering a tragic fate when their affairs fizzled out; her husband, boyfriend, and even her son all died by her hand, which earned her the title “Black Widow”. A fourth man survived an attempt on his life which led to Judi’s ultimate demise and eventual execution in 1998.
